Every time you finish a water bottle, two choices present themselves. First, you can just toss it in the trash. Second, you can recycle it! In this day and age, awareness on subjects such as global warming and pollution has created a movement towards “greener” policies and decision-making. Did you know that plastic could stay intact for over 4,000 years if not recycled? This is just one example of how high of an impact everyday objects such as a Gatorade bottle have on the environment. Here are a couple ways to help out the planet Cougars:
Recycle your disposable paper! There are blue recycling bins in each classroom; it only takes a matter of seconds.
Recycle from dusk till dawn, or even after that! Breakfast for many students comes from the school, so instead of taking a plastic bag bring your own.
Re-use. Instead of buying an Aquafina out of the vending machine, bring a bottle from home that you can use over and over again! Every bottle counts.
Feed the Piggies. With the possible return of the pig bins at lunch, this is a simple and effective way to reduce waste and give our four legged friends a big meal.
Just think. There are many times in your day when a smart, eco-friendly choice is a possibility. Everyone can help no matter who they are!
Feed a 9th grader. Offering scraps and other unwanted bits under the table is much appreciated by these voracious hordes and a great way to reduce waste!
These are only a few ways that you can help the environment. Throughout your community, it’s easy to find ways to help organize and/or become a part of the green revolution. Stay eco-friendly Cougars!
